| 1. |  | The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game
from W. W. Norton
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
In left tackle terms this book was a pancake. I can't believe it took me so long to buy this book and read it. During the past year I have passed this book over on numerous occasion instead choosing a number of different titles including "Meat Market". If anyone is out there faced with a similiar... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from For Dummies
Price: $13.59
Customer Review:
I found the book to be useful in explaining the types of plays, and the theory behind the plays. It also helped me learn the names and functions of the positions. However, that doesn't translate to being able to tell what's going on when I watch a television game, unless they show replays,... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 3. |  | The Ball is Round: A Global History of Soccer
from Riverhead Trade
Price: $15.60
Customer Review:
Very good book. If your interested in football (i.e. soccer) this covers everything. There are some slow parts but not that many and that could be attributed to not growing up with the sport. Great read but I think only if your really into football. | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I could write another BOOK as to why this tome should NEVER have been written.
For all those who understand my title caption of the review,no more needs to say. For the USian uninitiated to world football, you can look up the concept of 'relegation' on internet, no problem and you will... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Broadway
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
The reviews for this book already have done a nice job of describing the book's strengths and limits. However, no one has given it three stars yet and I think it falls somewhere in that category. If you love reading sports books like me, this isn't the worst read you will find. Culpepper gives a... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Soccer in Sun and Shadow, New Edition
from Verso
Price: $11.56
Customer Review:
This is a wonderfully nostalgic group of vignettes and reflections. At times, the writing is quite poignant. This will resonate with long-time soccer (futbol) aficionados, who know the history of the game. Younger readers will be lost in some of the allusions and will not know some of the players. | 4.5 / 5.0

from Riverhead Trade
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
Hornby's novel has a timeless feel to it. Even though it captures key moments from his coming-of-age and experiences supporting Arsenal, the story could be about any supporter supporting any club. There is something about the novel that makes the reader feel that this novel will probably be relevant... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
